So stock up on some dried/tinned groceries rather than bullets and petrol.

Dubrovnik is great for this half the tour groups: “the Jesuits founded this church in 1534” the other half: “and this is where King Tommen married Queen Marjery”

Pochoclo posted:Pretty sure bottled water will still be widely available in one of the richest European countries, comrades I think I see the problem in your argument friend Realistically I doubt things will be bad enough to disrupt the drinking water supply, but given what happens in US supermarkets everytime there's a hurricane warning, it's more the convenience of not having to run down the shops for some staples when everyone else has the same idea.

Yeah, I'm stocking up on rice, pasta, lentils, dried beans, tinned tomatoes etc. Won't be an interesting diet but it'll keep me alive if Brexit apocalypse happens. There were about 5000 people at the demo but the Bristol Post reported it as "hundreds"

happyhippy posted:I had a taxi driver here in Cork city detect my NI accent and thought I would like to know all about the Easter Rising and whatnot Yeah it's like in Luxor where about 60 tourists were massacred in 1997 at Hatshepsut's temple. According to the Western press (taking presumably an official press release at face value), the terrorists committed mass suicide in a cave up a hill. But I was in the vicinity with a local friend and we went to Qena where the terrorists were from and he pointed a mosque out to me and said "That's the mosque where the police killed the terrorists while they were praying." Which is a bit different!

I stumbled across one of these videos while searching for cheap recipes but immediately shut it off because it looked like a parody a la HowToBasic. Is this legit then? OwlFancier posted:The Mummy with Brendan Fraser is the best film ever made and I do not see the point in trying to improve upon it.  I wouldn't call it the best (that's RoboCop) but it's definitely underrated.

Actually, it's grown on me because of A: its sheer demented lunacy ("Let's take everything from the first film and amp it up about a thousand times! On crack!"), and B: what at the time felt like wretched CGI excess now feels quite genteel and restrained.

As long as the questions were pitched at just the right level so people thought they were in with a chance, the margins are way, way higher, but as others have pointed out smartphones kinda kill that model.
